Breast cancer cells send microRNA-filled vesicles to the brain, creating a nutrient-rich environment that facilitates ...

Interestingly, the impulses, also called action potentials, originate from tumor cells that are part neuron and part glia, ...

New research has identified crucial links between dietary choices and the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). The study explored how enzymes called ceramide synthase 5 and 6 are responsible for ...

Careful clustering of these molecules ensures that the glial cell can conduct a distinct "conversation" with each neuron. Through these molecular facilitators, glia can influence how neurons ...

To Jubao Duan of the University of Chicago, the authors provide compelling evidence. That tau dysregulation derails lipid ...

This protective mechanism, dependent on the function of P2Y12 receptors, highlights a novel form of neuron-glia interaction that prevents acute axonal degeneration from spreading beyond the nodes.

Research published in the journal Glia has identified crucial links between dietary choices and the progression of multiple ...

Dr. Aakanksha Singhvi studies glial cells, which are critical to the correct functioning of our nervous system. Every time a neuron connects to another neuron, a glial cell is there to make sure that ...

Newly published research in the journal Glia has identified crucial links between dietary choices and the progression of ...

Anti-brain aging to increase healthy lifespan: Our long-term goal is to identify molecular and cellular mechanisms that contribute to brain aging, including glia-neuron interactions, systemic ...
